“This was our second stay with Zadok. It felt like our dog became a part of his family. When I picked up, his daughter was still petting and talking sweetly to our KD as I was putting her into the car.”
“This is our second time having Tuxedo stay with Megan., and our experience this time was just as good as the last! She is communicative and flexible and takes such good care of Tuxedo!”
“TEN OUT OF FREAKING TEN. Was my first time boarding my baby and I was super nervous but she made the entire experience the best for both of us(me and my pup)! Daily/ hourly updates with pictures and videos was a huge plus! In what she sent you could tell he was having a good time and very relaxed! Very loving home! I could feel she wanted to cater to him to him because she asked about what he likes, dislikes, routines & etc before even booking. If you are looking for someone who will love your dog and not just watch them she is who you NEED to book with! Will now be my go!”
“Vacations can be stressful. It’s much easier knowing your pet is in good hands. Michelle does a fantastic job with our dog. She’s flexible, communicative, and we’ve only had great experiences. I have and would continue to recommend Michelle for anyone who needs a sitter for their four-legged friend.”
“Rebecca was the best sitter for my Sno’. He was welcomed with open arms and a loving heart. I am a traveling healthcare professional. It was truly a blessing to find someone who would love on my pup while I was away on a quick trip. She was able to take Sno’ at the very last minute. And I loved that she offered for me and Sno’ to meet her and her other pets before having to leave him. This absolutely won me over. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sno’ now has some new cousins. 💕”
“Hannah did a great job with our pup! Sent lots of pictures and our boy was happy when we picked him up. Sounds like he got lots of spoiling while we were gone. Definitely will use again!”
“This was Penelope's first stay with Jennifer. I was very pleased with her care and attention to Penelope. I feel fortunate to have found Jennifer and look forward to working with you in the future.”
“Kathy is amazing! We’re so happy we found her! She knew it was our first time leaving Monty with someone & she put us totally at ease. She sent us daily pictures & updates of how Monty was doing, which we really appreciated! We highly recommend Kathy! Monty had a great time with her & we’ll definitely book with her again😊”
About: I've had and taken care of animals since I was a child, I'm experienced in anything from mice to bunnies to dogs to horses.Grooming and training experience as well. My schedule is currently open and flexible while I build my clientele and fill my schedule with pets to care for. I would love to make house calls and care for your babies when you need an extra hand. I love to give all the love and attention when its appropriate. Each animals needs and training will be taken into consideration. It's easy for me to read an animals energy and adjust the kind of care I give accordingly.
“Stephen and Jessica were AMAZING! From the moment I met them and their sweet pups, I knew Ringo would do great! They sent pictures and messages daily and were so flexible when our flight home was delayed. We will definitely use them again!”
About: Hi, I’m Stefania! 🐾 I’m a dog mom to a 14-year-old Miniature Poodle and a rescue Australian Cattle Dog, so I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including senior dogs with special diets and medications. I’m patient, responsible, and love helping dogs feel safe and comfortable. I’m an active person who enjoys walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life. I start most mornings with walks or playtime with my own dogs, so adding extra furry friends into my routine feels natural. I'm available early in the morning and on weekends, which makes it easy for me to help with walks, drop-ins, or longer visits when you need them most. Because I'm active and love being outside, spending time with pets fits seamlessly into how I already live my life. Whether it's starting the day with some exercise, giving mid-day potty breaks, or making sure pets get attention and care of the weekends, I make pet care a priority in my schedule. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, I treat every animal like they're part of the family. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible-whether that means feeding schedules, medication, potty breaks, or favorite playtimes-so they feel comfortable and secure. In my own home, I make sure pets have a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. Since I have both a senior dog and a young, active pup, I'm used to balancing different needs and making sure each dog gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and rest. In a clients home, I'm respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet's environment clean, safe, and stress-free. I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have had many animals in the past few years of all kinds. (Dogs, cats, snakes, guinea pigs, fish, etc) I love animals so much and would love to watch your pets when you are in need of someone! Pet care is something I am very used to in my routine since I have always had pets of my own, so it’s a normal daily routine for me, no problem! I make sure to walk dogs daily, clean up any accidents or messes immediately, separate dogs during feeding times if necessary, always let dogs outside immediately when they alert me that they need to go etc.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Nelson Hill can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nelson Hill home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Nelson Hill.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Nelson Hill sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
